You just have to look in the right places. I drive Motorcoach and with tips I probably make $80,000/year and it’s pretty consistent work. Also you can get in to stuff like box truck night deliveries to 7 eleven some places and mail contract driver. You can find decent jobs it’s just hard to actually get hired by the one you want.

Thank you

Excellent video, thank you

Thanks for sharing your experiences

Thank h 4 this I’m from Philly and I’m goin 4 my class a but I think I wanna do class b work I don’t wanna leave my family with the class a

Why bother getting a CDL-B. You might as well just get the CDL-A. Like he said with a CDL-A you can drive anything but a motorcycle. With a CDL-A you can go anywhere and the price to get the CDL-A is roughly the same.

That part about the low pay at the trash company 😅 $160 a day is trash (no pun intended). The whole point of obtaining a CDL license is so that you have opportunities at higher paying jobs. Imagine thinking someone is gonna accept a low wage after the time, energy and resources that you put into getting your CDL. That’s laughable. We’re not in the business of being taken advantage of.

There's some people who don't mind doing a little activity since most trucking jobs. You're sitting for 13 hrs a day,my old old job i was the only class B driver and all the other drivers were class A.

Good video. Funny about roll off. I drive a mixer and you nailed it. The hours will never be worth the pay unless you don’t mind not having a life outside of working! Thanks

I actually made more than I thought I would. 11 sometimes 12 hour days Mondays through Fridays doing front load commercial. Starting pay with the overtime - about 100,000 a year. Again …. First job using my cdl and been here 7 months. Would recommend the trash sector for good pay.

8:29 felt that 😢 😭 😔

Good video. It’s all true. I got my class A and started driving and you will not make the money that you thought you were going too and you will have to work a lot of hours no matter where you work.

Apply at abc supply

Mixer trucks are all night before, on the plus side it’s crazy hourly after your 60 days

You do tend to complain a lot. That’s life as a truck driver if you can’t handle it then go sit in the office.

Im a Verra Mobility speed enforcer, im in a white jeep that sits in a work zone taking pics of speeding vehicles. Im about to get my cdl in a bit to drive dumps and eventually buy my own dump. Keep it up champ

Is your dump truck automatic or manual transmission

Thanks bro keep making videos

Year later …

Just Penndot

The walking around part… Is this for ALL dump truck drivers or PENDOT dump truck drivers? I’m an older guy. Just got my B license and have a bum knee.

You could have just did automatic

Great video. I just got my cdl b license. My thinking is just like yours. I do look on indeed and read the job descriptions. Your experience will probably be mine and I will be trying different jobs. I hope I find a job that pays at least $20 and it's just transportation.. good luck to you and me😊

Did they urine test u for school

I have my B and was able to get to driving school buses. It was paid training, no contract, and was able to get my class B with two endorsements. Only downside is that I have a auto restriction. I’ve since left school bus driving and started driving motorcoaches. Next to no labor involved, I get paid hourly, paid for lodging, and some other goodies. If you can deal with people, bus driving can be a good job. And unlike trucking, there’s truly a bus driver shortage so they will pick you up in an instant. 🤷🏽‍♂️

You work for the State? I’m from the Bay Area. I did roll off garbage and box Truck. About to try Street Sweeping. For the city

I made that mistake myself. I went out, got my CDL b to be a driver. I didn't know every job had labor involved. You don't really see "no touch" work until you get a class a

Boy you got me dying laughing 🤣🤣 try moffett truck at a lumber yard

Thanks for this video!!

Thanks man. I'm in Philly looking to get a cdl class b. Thinking about going to Global for my license. I left a warehouse job after 22 years and tried something different but it didn't work out. So I think I'm going to get my cdl b. I was always looking at driving a dump truck once I get my class b. Can you tell me what a new driver would make for a family owned fleet of 35 dumptrucks outside of Philly? And what are the hours like? The place I was looking at was M-F start early home 530-600pm about $230 a day. Some weekends. Health medical dental. Does that like a good deal? I just want to know what is the starting hourly rate for a new class b driver makes outside of Philly. Montgomery and bucks county? Thanks for your advice and all the info in your video.

Hey do you know any CDL B jobs that trains to get your License?

Pro tip, get your CDL for free by working for free by work for state DOT’s

You need to play off your security background to get the job.. are got a good background clean background and you got a security clearance you can get a really good job

You got a put some miles in with whatever company you’re going to be working for so you can use that they’ll be able to see it when they do to your federal motor vehicle check they will do that they’ll see where you’ve been working if you have any accidents or anything and you have to agree to it you can’t deny them I was a truck driver at Universal Studios 3 years…

I’m gonna add something here if you don’t mind I’ve had my CDL over 20 years and driving most of it It’s amazing the kind of vehicles you were encounter make sure you get with vehicles that are well taken care of I don’t care what they pay you don’t get in a vehicle that does not have brakes it’s not been taken care of… if you’re in a dump truck you’re gonna find out real quick.. make sure they have their insurance papers in the vehicle at all times that’s a problem you do not never want to have an anything.

Thank you, sir. This was very helpful. I will be getting my CDL soon and I appreciate the insider perspective on the reality of various trucking jobs. At the time of writing this, I am 47 years old and hope to make this career move my last one. Cheers.

Great advice and experience and telling us straight up what is. Thank you. Food truck feels like it would be good exercise, but the risk of injury or wearing out body parts is significant. Most people last about 6 months and the old timers go 3 years... or more if they are super careful with their body. The trash truck seems... rough. Pay structures are super important. Knowing your availability only the day before is like being on call for free. A CDL license needs to pay at least McDonalds-and-a-half. In my town McDonalds is 15 to 17 starting pay (2022). One worry I have is fitness. Seems like exercising or work outs are important to stay healthy if I am behind the wheel a lot.

Good video! I am considering getting a CDL B or A, and leaving a contractor position that I have grown to be very tired of. I liked you talking about some of the downsides to different Class B jobs, haven't heard some of that before. (been watching a ton of truck vids). Your information is very useful, and I thank you for it!

Just got my class B yesterday. Nice channel bro

Good video

Is it cheap an easy to get a cdl b. Looking into starting a truck company
